The path to at least understanding common core math, for elementary school students, may be as easy as your computer. Here's why: A good number of the math lessons are now on the Internet.

At Mechanicsville Elementary School in Gamber, second-grade students are wrapping up another year of math common core style, but the lessons won't end with the last day of school.

The new math concepts have been recorded and posted to the school system website, which helps students and parents learn all summer long.

"They can see what we are actually teaching in the classroom. The video shows exactly what we do in the classroom," Carroll County teacher Jenn Heim said.

The goal is to help more parents understand the math changes.

"So it's pretty exciting to have a place where we can learn the way that they're learning and help them further with their work," parent Sara Abbott said.

And that's what school officials had in mind when they started recording the common core math lessons earlier this year.

"If we have a parent group that doesn't know how to help their children at home, that just brings out their frustration, and then they may be showing kids different method that maybe their kids aren't ready for because we learned it that way. We always go back to how we were taught," Carroll County Supervisor of Elementary Education Donn Hicks said.

"The great thing about these videos is that the videos have Carroll County teachers, but they have the pause button, too, so they are able to slow down and take these strategies at their own pace," teacher Jen Dorsey said.

That goes a long way toward making the lessons plain for parents and fellow educators.

"These videos help not just parents, but believe it or not, teachers, so they can say, 'This is why things work the way they do when we solve math problems,'" math supervisor Caroline Chucko said.

The videos run between three and five minutes. Another 30 or so lessons are set to be recorded over the summer.
